(1) That’s from 2018. (2) It does not say what you say it says. It does not state how much energy was “used”. The laser is about 1% efficient. (3) That 80%, which is the number that goes with this recent news, has nothing to do with the “energy input”. It is 80% of the energy that their models say was absorbed by the hohlraum. These are part of where my couple of orders of magnitude remark comes from.
